Cork Players do very well in National Matchplays.

The national underage matchplays were on over the weekend across the country and Cork players did very well.

In the under 12 category Cork had 1 boy, Adam O Sullivan and 1 girl, Alexandra Duboy playing.
There are 16 participants in each age group so competition is tough.
Alexandra finished 6th but was very unlucky not to have being higher as she lost a few matches in the Champions tiebreak.
Adam did very well and finished a fabulous 3rd in very stiff competition.  This is a great achievement and should leave him looking forward to the summer where he can aim to challenge for the No.1 spot.

In the under 14 age category Cork again had 2 representatives, Emily Daly and David Gardiner.
Emily finished 7th in a very tough group while David had a great weekend with some outstanding results and was so unlucky in the final where he lost the Champions tie break 10-8.  This really is as close as it gets.

In the under 16 age category Cork had 4 girls playing and they all did very well, Rachel Daly finished 7th, Tara O Connor came 6th, Jane Daly was 5th and Siobhan Ryan Bovey had an exceptional weekend where she came 1st. 
Siobhans' dedication and hard work has paid off and we hope she has a very successful year ahead.

Tennis in Cork is in good hands.
